Each piece of jewelry you select from Atelier Puka is meant to stay by your side tomorrow and for an extended duration.
Gold filled
A MATERIAL CHOSEN FOR ITS BALANCE
Atelier Puka primarily works with 14k gold filled.
This choice is guided by both its durability over time and the quality of its color.
Gold filled is made of a thick layer of 14k gold mechanically bonded to a brass core.
This gold layer is significantly thicker than that of gold-plated jewelry — typically up to 50 to 100 times thicker.
This structure allows the jewelry to retain the warm, balanced tone of 14k gold over time, even with regular wear.
A CALM RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERYDAY WEAR
Unlike more superficial finishes, gold filled evolves gradually.
It does not chip or wear away abruptly.
Under normal use, it maintains its appearance and presence without requiring excessive care.
It ages alongside the jewelry, rather than deteriorating quickly.
COMFORT, FINENESS AND COLOR
Gold filled is valued for its comfort on the skin and its stability when worn.
It is suitable for regular wear, including for sensitive skin.
Its color, close to that of solid 14k gold, brings a natural, luminous presence, particularly well suited to fine jewelry.
It enhances form, gemstones, and movement without excess.
A MATERIAL ALIGNED WITH THE ATELIER'S APPROACH
Gold filled offers a balance between visual fineness, everyday durability, and tonal accuracy.
It allows creative freedom while remaining compatible with jewelry designed to be worn often.
This coherence between material, craftsmanship, and use guides the choices made at Atelier Puka.

Fine Gemstones
TRUE COLORS · GENUINE GEMSTONES · UNIQUE PIECES.
Atelier PUKA works exclusively with natural fine gemstones, selected for the quality of the material and the balance of their nuances.
Each gemstone presents subtle variations in color, intensity, or inclusions, meaning that no two pieces of jewelry are ever exactly the same.
These variations are neither artificial nor corrected — they are inherent to the stone and reflect its living nature.
Selection focuses primarily on visual clarity, tonal balance, and the way the stone interacts with light.
Each gemstone is then chosen for the harmony it creates with the jewelry’s clean, understated lines.
Color plays a central role in the choice of a piece of jewelry.
It often acts instinctively, giving rise to a singular, personal piece shaped by the material itself.
Aquamarine, sapphire, spinel, chrysocolla, turquoise, strawberry quartz…
These fine gemstones form the palette that defines Atelier PUKA collections.
Freshwater Pearl
SHINE · TIMELESSNESS · SOFTNESS
Atelier PUKA works with natural freshwater pearls, selected for the quality of their nacre and the balance of their shapes.
Each pearl shows subtle variations in size, tone, and surface.
These differences are inherent to the material and give each piece of jewelry its own character, without artificial uniformity.
Selection focuses on luster, visual harmony, and the softness of the nacre.
Pearls are chosen to complement clean, understated lines and to enhance light without excess.
Combined with fine, well-balanced settings, freshwater pearls bring a delicate presence that is easy to wear every day.
